crystalized epoxy?

I\'m using System Three Epoxy for my kayaks. The hardener is fine, but the other is starting to crystalize in the bottle. It is a bit old (three years) as the arrival of a baby threw off my schedule by a couple of years, maybe that\'s just what happens to epoxy when it sits for a while???? Has anybody ever seen this? Is there something that I can do to get it to a usable consistency again?

Thanks,

Jeremy

Jeremy,

It's totally normal when epoxy sits in the cold for too long. Just soak the bottle in hot water (120 degrees fahrenheit or so) for 3 or 4 hours. The crystals will melt and the epoxy will be fine again. Just be sure to do it until all the crystales have melted.

PS - don't forget the pumps, if you have any
